Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.

1) Out-of-bounds write

EUVDB-ID: #VU69943

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 5.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2347

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the U-Boot DFU implementation when processing download setup packets. An attacker with physical access to device can send a USB DFU download setup packet with a `wLength` greater than 4096 bytes, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the system.

Mitigation

Update the affected package u-boot-nezha to the latest version.

Vulnerable software versions

Ubuntu: 22.04 - 23.04

u-boot-nezha (Ubuntu package): before 2022.10-1089-g528ae9bc6c-0ubuntu1.23.04.2

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

No. The attacker should have physical access to the system in order to successfully exploit this vulnerability.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

2) Buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU64137

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30552

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the implementation of IP Packet Defragmentation. A remote attacker on the local network can trigger memory corruption and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.

Mitigation

Update the affected package u-boot-nezha to the latest version.

Vulnerable software versions

Ubuntu: 22.04 - 23.04

u-boot-nezha (Ubuntu package): before 2022.10-1089-g528ae9bc6c-0ubuntu1.23.04.2

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the local network (LAN).

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

3) Out-of-bounds write

EUVDB-ID: #VU64139

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 8.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30790

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input in the implementation ofIP Packet Defragmentation. A remote attacker on the local netwotk can trigger out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Mitigation

Update the affected package u-boot-nezha to the latest version.

Vulnerable software versions

Ubuntu: 22.04 - 23.04
